Sly 2: Band of Thieves – Part 4
The gang is back together again after two of its member suffered brief incarceration under maximum security. And yet, we have unfinished business with the warden of that prison: The Contessa.
Turns out, she was one of our targets all along, possessing the Clockwerk Eyes. That means it’s time for a little payback.
This game in particular doesn’t get enough credit for the way it gradually escalates the stakes and danger of each episode. What started out as a break-in at a nightclub has escalated into a global conspiracy involving several interlinking crimes. There’s a clear method underlying them all, which wasn’t the case in the first game. Where the Fiendish Five were all separate people who did their own thing, the Klaww Gang is a much more organized, united front.
And as we continue, this will only grow even more true. The conversation between Jean Bison and Arpeggio we overhear lays a lot of significant groundwork for the reveals to come, but we’ll talk more about them when they arrive.
For now, we’re getting closer. Not much more left.
